My parents & I have dined at Vago many, many times. It's one of our stand-by go-to neighborhood restaurants. We enjoy the ambiance, the quality of the food, the menu, & the portions. (We usually bring leftovers home with us). We find the prices reasonable. The selection of wines is darn good & they make a mean sangria, too. Oh, & the free parking in the nearby lot after 6pm is a nice bonus!
Occasionally it can get loud in the restaurant but I think it adds to the vibrancy of the place.
Tonight a new server, Christina, was our server, & she was amazing! In fact, we couldn't believe it was her first shift there. She knew the menu like the back of her hand & was a consummate professional- even dealing with my dad's many food neuroses (hey, he's 96, so he's allowed!). We all thought she was GREAT.
As usual, we had a lovely meal here. Vago is truly a neighborhood gem.
We came on Tuesday for lunch, 5 of us, the broccoli soup of the day was so salty I got a headache instantly with one spoon full, my husband & I both took it, our friends also tasted it & consensus was unanimous, extremely oversalted, we sent it back. I ordered the Taki Taki & Octopus, it was absolutely fantastic, mind you very small baby portions, it's a starter, just enough to wet the beak. Hubby got the fried calamari, also amazing, highly recommend, I should have ordered that too, then the grilled Veal over veggies, pounded to a thin patty, well prepared. The butter for the bread was rock solid, he should have took it out to thaw like an hour before opening, same for the desserts, the profiterole were also just out of the freezer, I couldn't get my knife through, had to stab it like some psycho to get to the middle, it should have been creamy but they were hard as a rock, however still delicious, not too sweet just perfect. The music was so loud I had to scream, then it was quiet so I think he figured it out. The paintings are fantastic, I was in awe just staring at them. Look, if you want professional perfect service & show off to clients go to the Keg, if you don't mind casual whatever service & overpriced food this is the place for you.
